Title / Topic: Using AI to Improve Clinical Research Consent Forms

Speaker: Bryce Fletcher, CCRP, Research Project Analyst, PhD Candidate,
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MU HealthCare

Overview: This presentation explores the use of AI to enhance the efficacy of informed consent forms in clinical research. Traditional consent processes often struggle with readability and participant comprehension, potentially compromising the ethical integrity of participant engagement. During this presentation, we will discuss a study designed to assess whether AI can produce consent forms that are not only easier to understand but also more engaging compared to those written by researchers. The research integrates both quantitative analysis of readability metrics and qualitative feedback from a Research Patient Advisory Team to evaluate two versions of consent forms: one generated by researchers and the other by AI.

Objectives:

1. Understand the challenges and limitations of traditional informed consent
   processes in clinical research.
2. Examine the potential benefits and concerns associated with using AI to
   generate informed consent documents.
3. Identify improvements and ethical considerations for integrating AI into the
   consent process.
